Jaconé Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a bit of a mixed bag coming up, but there are some real highlights if you’re patient. The water is sitting at 74°, which is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.

The window kicks off with a bit of a wait. The first real action is on Monday morning, July 6th. Jaconé has a 6 ft S swell pushing through, with a period of 11 seconds. The wind is a bit tricky – light from the WNW – so it’s cross, not ideal. The energy is solid though, with a combined swell energy reading of 1042. It’s a bit messy for the morning, but there’s a pulse in the water.

Monday afternoon is where it starts to get interesting. The same S swell is still running at 6 ft, but the wind switches to a light ESE breeze, giving us a clean cross-off. The energy jumps significantly to 1360, and the conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. This is a standout session for the more competent crew.

The real standout, however, is Tuesday morning, July 7th. We’ve got a 3 ft S swell, but the period is a very long 16 seconds. This is proper groundswell. The wind is a clean offshore from the NNE at 10 km/h. The water will be glassy. This is a point-break / reef dream scenario – long, drawn-out lines. The energy is still moderate at 767, but the quality will be there. This is the pick of the first week.

Tuesday afternoon sees the wind swing onshore from the WSW at 30 km/h, which kills it. Not worth it.

We have a couple of small, clean windows around July 10th and 12th, with offshore winds and SE swells, but the sizes are small (3 ft to 4 ft). The swells have long periods (13-14 seconds), so they’ll have some shape, but it’s a waiting game for a decent set.

Then we hit a bit of a lull from July 18th through the 20th. The swell drops to tiny 1 ft to 3 ft, and the energy is weak (144 to 246). You’d be fighting for scraps.

But hold on, because the long-range looks promising. On Monday morning, July 21st, we get a solid 6 ft S swell with a very long period of 15 seconds. The wind is offshore from the NE at 15 km/h. The energy is strong at 1428. This is another excellent session for experienced surfers, with clean, offshore conditions. It’s a week and a half away, so keep an eye on it, but it’s a beauty on paper.

Stay safe, and I’ll see you out there.

Rusty.
